NPAC Costs Clause Samples
The NPAC Costs clause defines how expenses related to the Number Portability Administration Center (NPAC) are allocated between the parties in an agreement. Typically, this clause specifies which party is responsible for paying fees associated with NPAC services, such as number porting or database access, and may outline reimbursement procedures or cost-sharing arrangements. Its core practical function is to ensure clarity and prevent disputes by explicitly stating financial responsibility for NPAC-related costs.
NPAC Costs. Sprint's LNP Database service offering does not include the cost of any charges or assessments by Number Portability Administrative Centers, whether under the NPAC/SMS User Agreement with Lockheed, or otherwise, or any charges assessed directly against CLEC as the result of the FCC LNP Orders or otherwise by any third-party. These costs include the costs assessed against telecommunications carriers to pay for NPAC functions as permitted by the FCC and applicable legal or regulatory bodies. Sprint shall have no liability to CLEC or the NPAC for any of these fees or charges applicable to CLEC, even though it may pay such charges for other Sprint companies.
